How is it possible to stay sane when exposed to this much chaos and disaster? Hollywood is burning — the insurance angle, the astrology and how the fires may have started.
I did. All the way through. It’s about the new city of LA on the drawing board.
It might be the biggest pile of gibberish I’ve ever seen. A team of drunken monkeys could have composed it.
ChatGPT could have produced a more cogent version in three seconds. At no salary.
The devil is in the details, but there are precious few in the report. It’s all digital this and digital that. A lot of the digital involves ‘better communication’ between public officials.
The devil is what sits behind the whole report.
I have no doubt the planners would like to build an AI surveillance and police state to replace the burned-out LA. It’s their kind of wet dream.
The question is, can they do it, by 2028, when the Olympics come to town? That’s a very practical question. It’s where the rubber meets the road. They want it by 2028, but is it possible?
Speculators and investors and corporations will be gobbling up as much scorched LA land as fast as they can. They’ve already started. That’s standard after most disasters, wherever they occur. It’s nothing new. The devastating COVID lockdowns were a land-grab on steroids.
How much of LA’s burned and captured land will become part and parcel of the smart-city plan, and how fast can that kind of new build-out be done?
My assessment is, they won’t get there by 2028. Sure, there will be stepped-up security for the Olympics; that’s standard, too. I covered and wrote about the 1984 Olympics. The daily car traffic on streets shrank enormously. President Reagan showed up, so his security team was posted in key spots.
But a wall to wall ‘smart city’ by 2028? I don’t see it.
Let me be crystal clear. Woke crazies in positions of power, and the sociopaths behind them, would LOVE to see a place like LA digitally locked down forever. Patrolling AI robots. Surveillance of every digital communication in the city. Stored profiles of all 11 million residents in the area. All homeless people disappeared. All weapons in private hands seized. Military units stationed permanently in LA County. Instant arrests of every dissenting person. People living in bloc apartments under tight control. The works.
BUT can they pull it off in four years?
THAT’S the question I’m asking. And my answer, which stems in part from my personal knowledge of LA, having lived there for 33 years, is no.
There’s too much land. There are too many different kinds of populations in too many communities. There are too many rich people, whose homes are now destroyed, who are determined to keep their property and put up new homes—not data centers or low-cost mass housing. They’ll pull every string they can to get their pals to issue them building permits.
LA is just one of many, many places where the Surveillance State IS being built, piece by piece. You can find that in New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, and other key centers. It’s happening. You bet.
But that’s a whole different proposition from taking a vast city, where some of the major centers have been burned to the ground, and erecting a 21st century Police State with a four-year snap of the fingers.
The smart-city theory is TRUE. It’s ultimately true for the whole planet. The elite goal has been on the drawing board for a long time. Smart-Earth is the replacement for the widespread chaos the elite smart-planners have ben provoking across the world. Order from Chaos. Step one, step two. Technocracy.
Socialism and Communism and Wokism are the intermediate stages of the op.
I’m writing this article to make the point that a smart-city in LA by 2028 isn’t a slam-dunk. Which means there is TIME. Time for the possibility of a mass rebellion in LA, on the part of MANY outraged residents who have just awakened to the fact that their government rulers, the officials they’ve been supporting for decades, are and have been screwing them royally.
The fires are living proof.
Newsom and Karen Bass, the Communist Mayor of LA, are living proof.
It turns out that, UNDER GREAT PRESSURE, these supposedly solid unimpeachable leaders, come apart at the seams.
Newsom is shitting bricks. In recent interviews, you can see his body language. It’s disconnected from his words. He’s clapping his hands, he’s pointing his fingers, meaninglessly. He’s like a cheap two-bit personal growth leader at a weekend seminar. Trying to give the impression of inspiration. But it comes off like…he’s a first-class criminal whose lawyer just told him the prosecution has all the documents proving he’s guilty. Which is exactly the case. Newsom IS a criminal. He IS exposed. He HAS BEEN ignoring his prime duty: protecting the people. He HAS BEEN too busy guarding criminal Sanctuary cities and extending the transgender agenda and cozying up to his rich liberal friends…
Some of whom have just had their homes burned to the foundations in Pacific Palisades.
They’re looking at Gavin in a new way today.
Thousands and even millions of people in LA and California are looking at Gavin and other politicians in a new way.
Because now it isn’t abstract. It isn’t Democratic of Republican.
It’s FIRE.
And who is responsible for the fires that keep on burning?
And why the hell should we believe them or listen to them or follow them?
Why not have a rebellion based on the whole truth and common sense?
Why not rip skeletons out of the closets?
That’s the ANTI-smart-city plan, and it’s in progress right now…very visibly, on the ground, in LA.

Eric, You probably already know this, but in case you don't . . .
In the Pacific Palisades January 7th chart at 12:03pm, Mars is out of bounds at 24.17-degrees North, in Cancer. In the LA chart of September 4, 1781, Mars is out of bounds at 27.02-degrees South in Capricorn.
The LA chart also has Uranus out of bounds at 23.40-degrees North in Cancer, and Pluto out of bounds at 24.36-degrees South in Aquarius.
Out of Bounds: LA Mars in Capricorn and transiting Mars conjunct LA Uranus in Cancer are opposite, on the axis of the Full Moon.
Also, the LA out of bounds Pluto, in Aquarius, which is conjunct the US Moon, is quincuncx the Cancer conjunction of out of bounds transiting Mars and out of bounds LA Uranus. And the LA out of bounds Mars is conjunct the US Pluto.
Happy to say more, but I would like to have somebody's ears on the other end.
Thanks Hillary -- would you please provide a brief technical example of "out of bounds" and also some past examples of this in mundane charts that we might recognize the qualities of? Thank you.
An out of bounds planets has a declination either North or South of the Sun's declination, which is 23.23-degrees. This means the planet is out of the light and jurisdiction of the Sun, so it can go wild.
Out of bounds planets bring on extreme behaviors according to the particular archetypes. To the extent of that behavior is either emphasized bigger or smaller depending on the sign and house of out of bounds planet and its dispostor (ruler).
The very best example is Mercury. Trump, Elon Musk and Tucker Carlson, all have Mercury out of bounds. Both Trump and Elon have Mercury in Cancer. Tucker has Mercury in Gemini, the sign it disposits. . . . Regarding Trump, I am always explaining to people why Trump is all over the universe with his words and speeches, It is because of his out of bounds Mercury in Cancer ruling his Sun, Uranus and North Node in Gemini in his 10th house. Tucker too, it is evident that he has a beyond normal access to a realm of communicating with people which is extraordinary. And Elon's Mercury 14-degrees, near his Cancer Sun/MC conjunction, is in mutual reception with his Moon--his 2 final dispositors of his chart. Elon wears a concerned heart in his words and deeds.
The US July 4, 1776 5pm chart has Venus, Mars, and Pluto out of bounds. Israel has 5 planets out of bounds (!!!): Moon, Mercury, Venus, Uranus and Pluto!
Every chart I look at, I check for out of bounds planets. They always answer a great many big questions.
So what is interesting is how influential these charts become, or rather, what they represent. Trump may be all over the universe, but in the digital age, people how relate to his incoherence. And I imagine that this oob quality gives him a sense of common cause with Musk. As for Carlson, maybe this is why he makes 70% sense one in three times and can then have been found to have said the exact opposite thing five years ago.
Yes, I think you are right about people relating to his incoherence. Mercury oob is easy to detect, especially in Trump, with his Gemini placements. But Fauci who also has his Mercury oob, as well, has a chart design which makes it much more difficult to detect--the man is slippery and sly as coconut cream! Yet. when we look closely where it is nicely hidden in the 12th house--assuming the birth time for him is correct--in a quincuncx with Uranus in the 5th house, and a square with Neptune in Virgo (same as US Neptune) which it rules in the 8th house--we can clearly see that the whole covid circus, was a hoax contrived under his mad Mercury mind!
Please find below the link to an Audio book I am currently listening too. It is the number 1 seller in Germany at the moment. The author is Michael Nehls. Eric, I think he would be a fantastic guest for you to interview. I haven't got through the audio book yet 12hrs long, it has answered many of still outstanding guestions about the past 5 years and how the indoctrination has been applied to all of humanity. https://michael-nehls.com/
The Sting soundtrack brought back memories & its important place in my life. It might be interesting sometime for you to do an in-depth dive as to whether music makes good on its promises - turning our feelings over like a prism in the hand, dazzling us with its many fragments of light and longing.
I just remembered: I saw "lighting"on Monday afternoon (Burbank). No thunder. No storm/rain. Just as if the sky were flashing. Only twice that I noticed, lasting a few seconds each time.
From my view of the skyline across Glendale, Pasadena, around to Hollywood, the effect was one of the entire sky lighting up; like a lightening strike without any lightening. (Since it was daytime, "lighting up" here was more like the sky getting whiter, noticably lighter) Being from the midwest/east, this sky effect caused me to pause, waiting for thunder to follow. Of course, there was none. I do not recall what clouds may have been in the sky at the time.
As an aside, Santa Ana's are never terribly strong in Burbank. I've also lived near Hidden Hills and in Calabasas where they are typically quite strong (as in: don't leave your kids' toys outside), but still not as strong as what I experienced in Burbank a week ago.
I also noticed how strangly still things were--and have been--before and after the "Santa Ana's."
And generally Santa Ana's last for more than a couple of days; they're more like a short "season." It's just been oddly still since the 2-3 days of intense gusts.
I was speculating with baited breath how long it would take for erstwhile Substack writers to blame the LA situation — at least partially — on “Communism”. Not long at all!
Re Segment 1, yes, Trump/Anti Trump are two sides of the same disinformation narrative.
Re Segment 2. I know John Hutchinson. He was a new boyfriend of Judy Wood when i was working with her and her team, was brought into the mix. She shared videos of him demonstrating the Hutchinson Effect. Hardly anyone found them convincing. This was the beginning of the end for my 18 months of collaboration with her, i decided she went over the edge. Further developments regarding her and the use of DEW at the WTC provided further confirmation to me that this was the case. Her idea there is countered by ample evidence, i think Roland Angle can fill you in on that.
The informant who told you about Hutchinson then suggested Dane Wignigton and geoengineering to explain how weather itself can be engineered. What Wigington claims is that HAARP devices shoot energy impulses into the Ionosphere, which is 30 to 180 miles up, heating pockets of air, and these pockets are used to alter the courses of jet streams. Left unexplained is how heating up air pockets in the Ionosphere affects jet steams, which are 5 to 10 miles up. No one i know who has pushed Wigington has been able to explain to me how this huge gap can even conceptually be closed, i don't think it even crossed their minds.
Regarding the chart and the fires. I don't see how the chart specifically supports a particular technology, rather than the general idea that fires were set. Very plausible. Though apparently Palisades Fire, the largest, started due to a reigniting of embers left over from a camping fire in December. Once started, it could of course be accelerated and expanded via setting fires. Eaton could have been deliberately set. But setting fires given the situation already preexisting was no problem.
I have no idea how people think we as a species can keep living on this planet the way we are, totally destroying the ecosystem, and not set off disasters. LA has been a disaster in the making for many decades. Phoenix and Vegas are even worse. Why is no one questioning that? Do we really think everything will work out fine as long as we find and eliminate corruption? Can we really maintain a global system which requires exponential growth upon a finite planet? HOW???
we would be doing a lot better without all the excess exploitation and intentional destruction. However, what is killing us is the profit motive — which does not mean making a living. It means dividends for shareholders above all else. And that translates to every decision must be made on the basis of profit and not in any way making the world better or treating employees better and many other things that could be done better. The obsession with profits by a few people is a symptom of the insanity that is doing this. There is no easing back. And now the machine is consuming what it has created. As Paloma Todd said to me years ago, the United States empire has run out of places to inflict its cruelty and will soon be inflicting it at home. That was 20 years ago.
I agree with a lot of this. Yes, the profit motive, And yes, the global crackdown is coming to the USA.
But it's not an "obsession." It is an IMPERATIVE. The essence of capitalism is capital accumulation, and any firm which doesn't press the pedal to the metal regarding the pursuit of profit will be left behind, shunned by any investment capital sources, out-competed by more profitable competitors more able to afford the latest, more connected vertically and horizontally.
The development of capital does not permit decent treatment of workers and non0-profit consideration. That's how we got here. This has nothing to do with "greed," actually, it's simply the dynamic which has governed capitalism sine its emergence into history, the late medieval era in rural England, The Enclosures.
Thus, whatever is left of the natural world will be destroyed if this global system persists.
And it is worth noting that the largest profits are to be had via financialization not production so capitalism has become a mostly parasitic entity.
Last time I looked finance constituted around 40 percent of profit taking: stocks, bonds, what Marx called “coupon clipping” by the wealthy which owns most stock.
That's a glaring sign of a capitalism that's crisis-ridden. A bigger and bigger financial sector is living on the back of the industrial core, because financialization is more profitable, and this worsens till the whole structure collapses.
Conversations of "sustainability" in Capitalist social/economic structure are contradictory. In this model, the Western/US model, there is no such thing as sustainable, only onward to infinity--which is unattainable. I'm reminded of the Soviet agent played by Kate Blanchett in Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull whose desire to know everything leads to her implosion. I'm sure there are many literary (and very very real) examples of the idea.
Oh we could do sustainable...if we went back to North America in around 1600 before some of the houses in my neighborhood were built. There is barely resiliency. Think about what is happening to the bees. Our lifestyle could be designed to be a lot easier on our bodies and the planet but that is never a thought. The NY Times today reported that there are 1.3 billion plastic particles in 1cc of tea, from the tea bag. I was worried about this the first time I saw a plastic soda bottle c. 1978.
Here is how American business operates — this is part of a brief from one of the longest civil trials in US history, circa 1983. It's about Lysol and Monsanto.
Indeed and agreed. My thesis is that "sustainability" is not (generally) in what we do/actions because it is not part of the national identity. My historical marker is westward expansion (a good bit later than the 1600s model). Individuals/communities may think sustainably; the nation does not, making "sustainable" yet another brand, therefore (generally) "sustainably" does not obtain sustainable results.
I can design my business to be "sustainable" by pacing myself, knowing my limits, adjusting my expenses to my income, working to build business and taking care of my clients...but I exist in a very small ecosystem.
I knew of John Hutchinson's work and the Hutchinson Effect long before Judy Woods and her work. Which I believe is a big part of what did happen to the towers.
I believe it was High Energy Weapons to the towers. And Controlled Demolition as well. And real planes or something that slammed into them, and real people doing new and strange behaviors in that event. It seems the people that do these things, use multiple approaches so we argue while they get outta town and prepare the next event. Yes it falls out of the familiar so it easy to say no way to unfamiliar technology. But I have seen enough in my personal life to know that regular physics is the matrix and there is more than regular physics around us. But that is crazy talk to many people but not everybody. Like the ability to use so called high energy as a weapon. I don't know for certain they were used in LA, after all I seen pics of arsonist in LA too and the footage of the three areas lit up at the same time. So it is easy to brush off one as photo shopped though it may be very likely. Just like demonstrations of some physics that appear to be inconsonant but when found out about are indeed predictable and repeatable we just didnt know about them until we knew about them, that they do these things when under these conditions too. But in addition to those types of favorable predictable truths there is more, much more. William Tillers work does a bang up job explaining in words and scientific experimentation what appears to be human thought itself has power over physical materials and, that, is such a stretch for others, but it isn't for me at all. He calls it a higher lever of symmetry that when Deltrons (his term I believe) come into the picture then human thought supersedes regular reality as you are experiencing it. He has a few experiments that are quite convincing and normally would be considered impossible, but when you add human intention, it happens. And one can find out on their own if one wishes to find out if you can do the same. I have. And others already do it too but they don't know it. Like miracles happening in their lives and results from specific prayers answered. To me, our real natures are not very known or celebrated. Shunned.
Judy Wood's analysis of the towers, asserting this was done with directed energy weapons, is BUNK!! There is no other such analysis, so i will stick to it.
She asserted little was left of the steel in the structures, it was mostly vaporized, In fact, there are ample photos of steel beams spread out over the WTC site after the event, which was all quickly shopped off to China. A Bunch of steel beams were cast horizontally., not what a DEW would do, got embedded in nearby buildings such as Bankers' Trust, there are photos of this. The cars near the East River a couple of miles from the WTC which bore scorch markings was put forth by her as evidence that the energy went all over the place. In fact, those cars were towed there from the WTC site after the event. And so on and on...
And the biggest VETO. What can be seen on video of WTC1, and its descent. The antenna on the roof began descending before the entire top section did so. This not only shows that the top could not be a pile driver, as per the official story, but that the destruction began on the inside of the structure, the inner core columns, and the truss hat which was on top of them which supported the antenna, This could not be done without the outside being damaged first, and it wasn't.
You are asserting what cannot be proven scientifically, and i as someone with a science background refuse to accept such assertions. That’s the same as people asserting that viruses exist, even some who say that they can be made via human thought.
I don't think Wood's theory accounts for anything not accounted for by controlled demolition...but I have not read the book, only heard it discussed here...
Oh I wouldn't worry about it. We learned tonight that Judy Woods assertations are Bunk. And probably John Hutchinson's work too.
And she is a gross insult to the scientific method. So I wouldn't waste my time on such silly things. Nope. Absolutely bunk and a just bogus person making up stuff. I've seen the light!
I was talking to her 3-4 times a week while she was formulating her theory, phone calls lasting till 1AM. I tried pointing out huge problems in the theory, she dismissed all evidence i presented as fake, and attacked me for doubting her. She is a gross insult to the scientific method.
He’s actually giddy about these fires. Yes in a satanic trance. Lord help him. Lord help LA! Satans just set your city on fire as he talks about his legal team on land speculating before the fires are even contained.
OK, sorry about my 'run on' last post, submitted again, w paragraph breaks as requested. I was intent on getting it done as I'm headed out of town and country for a few weeks, and did not do a final read/edit. I can assure you I'm not headed to anywhere within the continental US this weekend! ~ Jan
I've been following fires since I was a kid; my father was a sr. fire captain in the municipality of Richmond, BC, which encompasses two delta islands at the mouth of the Fraser River, Lulu Isl. & Sea Isl., where Vancouver's YVR airport is. A typically rainy in winter, wet part of the Pacific NW. Grass fires that would start in E. Richmond could be fought for days if not weeks due to the composition of the land being primarily peat moss which would just keep on re-igniting and burning over and over again. Living now in the SE'ern corner of the province for the past 50+ years which is a semi-arid (less than 25 cm precip./year) area of the Rocky Mountain Trench running from northern BC down to the south-western states of the US and incorporating the headwaters of the entire Columbia River water system, I have witnessed many severe forest fire seasons that have been becoming more and more prevalent year after year throughout the Pacific North West including CA, BC, Alberta, everywhere in between and northern regions too, and especially in the past twenty+ years since about 2003, where whole towns have burned down. Jasper, Alberta just last year, to name just one.
Wide swaths of Kootenay Nat'l Park through the Rockies between BC and Alberta have been decimated of their forests from major fires that burned most of the summer season due to fires that 'got away' from (National) Parks Canada and BC Forest Service fire mitigation measures that were started to create managed fireguards and/or burning of 'too much available fuel' to prevent huge seasonal forest fires from happening. Which did just the opposite. And then could not be contained. And created huge fires that have changed landscapes - that will not be seen again in my lifetime.
I have seen the same phenomenon of the ground being on fire smoldering along underground for months after a big fire has been 'successfully' put out on many occasions, to start up again,, have seen smoke filled valleys throughout the Columbia Valley and other E & W Kootenay regions of Canada for months on end during fire season, no different from those in Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington and California. But when an active fire is really going strong another phenomenon is that it produces it's OWN weather, independent of the severe wind weather pattern that may have initiated it, with extremely high winds blowing embers over wide areas faster than any fire suppression efforts can do anything to stop it.
The management of the rural interface zones of larger urban areas has really started to focus in the past years to education of home and land owners to 'fire-smart' their properties, de-limbing mature trees to 20 ft. up from the ground level, getting rid of now mature residential ornamental plantings that are now growing right up to a house, educating (often mostly absent) homeowners to 'for chrisesake!' NOT stack/store your wood-burning fireplace's supply of firewood right under your deck up against the side of your house!! In the community where I live the building scheme from 40 years ago specified that the roof must be constructed of cedar shakes,, a whole roof of kindling for an ember to land on and take out a house. And the one next door and all up the street too. All of these things seem pretty obvious, but it's taken and is taking a while yet to wake people up.
Because what is also evident is that after a few years of a very large fire taking out a whole town or small city the property owners who have taken huge losses have not been able to settle their insurance claims to get started again. Whether it's their principal residence or a vacation home in beautiful 'BC' for residents of Alberta (we joke about it being an acronym for 'bring cash').
As a licensed agent for buying/selling real estate, commerce just stops when a fire occurs nearby, as insurance underwriters will not issue a new insurance binder to anyone attempting to buy a property within a short distance from an active fire. Special clauses must be written into contracts of purchase and sale during months before and after 'active' fire season to help legally keep real estate transactions from being frustrated/killed by the inability of a buyer to get valid fire insurance in place by the property sale closing date. As professional best practices dictate that all contracts should contain a provision for a buyer to have a financing condition - whether they need to or not financially to buy, for their protection - the property of their choice, not being able to get insurance in place to do so just stops things - as, if one is working with a lender and financing approval, no insurance means no final financing approval in time for the sale completion date. Which means no money to you mr & mrs buyer.
The lender of course will want to have get their own appraisal of the subject property to make sure it will 'appraise up' to the value they are approving financing to a buyer for, so how do you do that when it's now together with the entire area, just a big charred hole in the ground? To try to extrapolate the scenario I describe in rural/recreational/second home BC communities to Los Angeles waterfront and ocean view kazillion dollar residential and commercial property losses, is just beyond my ability to comprehend how it might actually be do-able.
—PG&E, not PE&G. Actually, the Pacific Gas & Electric corporation didn't pay out for the deaths it caused. Newsom did a backroom deal with the corporation that allows it to raise rates insanely high and charge the customers for the legal fees.—
Governor Newsom, most state lawmakers took money from convicted felon PG&E
PG&E donated millions to California politicians after it was convicted of 6 federal felonies connected to the 2010 San Bruno pipeline explosion that killed 8 people.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Friday rejected Pacific Gas and Electric's $13.5 billion settlement with wildfire victims, making a major setback in the utility’s attempt to emerge from bankruptcy by June 30 in order to gain access to a $20 billion state-sponsored insurance fund for future wildfires.
WOW! Your interviewee said--"But when I left, I turned on the radio in the car to drive to a friend's And on the radio, they said the Eton fire in Altadena was two acres. Two acres, not that much. You know, it's about the size of a house, you know, or a plot of land that would accommodate a house, right?"
2 acres is about the size of a house and its land? Maybe in a very well to do area, not in the SF Bay Area. 2 acres would be 10 to 30 houses? A guy I know who builds ADUs said this: “Average Berkeley lot is .11 acres or so, so house plus an ADU in SFR zone could be 18 units in 2 acres. Multifamily zones could be 100+ pretty easy. “
Your interviewee went on to say —"Well, they're going to have to expedite permitting and find a way to expedite construction. They're going to have to do that. Because I would say conservatively, just off the top of my head, you're looking at 100,000 to 200,000 people that are homeless now. And in the short term, Where do you rehouse 100,000 to 200,000 people?"—
How about tiny houses for all those people? Give them the 15 minute carceral cities CA is forcing other cities to build. Little to no landscaping. Little to no vision of sky, just walls and walls and more dreadful walls. Only 4 feet necessary between buildings which doesn't include the eaves of rooves. This way everything burns faster? Is that the plan?
Are people really that ignorant of what's happening in many of the cities in California?

If it is true that the Social Society Engineers use Electrical Engineering as their primary model for control then I just had a thought, to purposely go more into in their world but become one of the electrical instruments to perhaps "ground out," their charges or perhaps amplify their charges but pipe it back to them or something.
Im no engineer but when I studied and passed the three levels of Ham Radio testing in one day, I learned that they use a lot of Electrical Engineering, the designs, the science of and the components used for the piping and harnessing ect of electricity. It can all be graphed to be understood. Fascinating field. And if I can learn it I am sure anyone can. I just studied it hard to pass and learned about the electrical principles.
The ‘smart-city’ theory of the LA fires; deal or no deal?
JON RAPPOPORT - - JAN 15
There’s a Smart City LA 2028 Report you can read.
https://ita.lacity.gov/sites/g/files/wph1626/files/2021-05/SmartLA2028%20-%20Smart%20City%20Strategy.pdf?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email
I did. All the way through. It’s about the new city of LA on the drawing board.
It might be the biggest pile of gibberish I’ve ever seen. A team of drunken monkeys could have composed it.
ChatGPT could have produced a more cogent version in three seconds. At no salary.
The devil is in the details, but there are precious few in the report. It’s all digital this and digital that. A lot of the digital involves ‘better communication’ between public officials.
The devil is what sits behind the whole report.
I have no doubt the planners would like to build an AI surveillance and police state to replace the burned-out LA. It’s their kind of wet dream.
The question is, can they do it, by 2028, when the Olympics come to town? That’s a very practical question. It’s where the rubber meets the road. They want it by 2028, but is it possible?
Speculators and investors and corporations will be gobbling up as much scorched LA land as fast as they can. They’ve already started. That’s standard after most disasters, wherever they occur. It’s nothing new. The devastating COVID lockdowns were a land-grab on steroids.
How much of LA’s burned and captured land will become part and parcel of the smart-city plan, and how fast can that kind of new build-out be done?
My assessment is, they won’t get there by 2028. Sure, there will be stepped-up security for the Olympics; that’s standard, too. I covered and wrote about the 1984 Olympics. The daily car traffic on streets shrank enormously. President Reagan showed up, so his security team was posted in key spots.
But a wall to wall ‘smart city’ by 2028? I don’t see it.
Let me be crystal clear. Woke crazies in positions of power, and the sociopaths behind them, would LOVE to see a place like LA digitally locked down forever. Patrolling AI robots. Surveillance of every digital communication in the city. Stored profiles of all 11 million residents in the area. All homeless people disappeared. All weapons in private hands seized. Military units stationed permanently in LA County. Instant arrests of every dissenting person. People living in bloc apartments under tight control. The works.
BUT can they pull it off in four years?
THAT’S the question I’m asking. And my answer, which stems in part from my personal knowledge of LA, having lived there for 33 years, is no.
There’s too much land. There are too many different kinds of populations in too many communities. There are too many rich people, whose homes are now destroyed, who are determined to keep their property and put up new homes—not data centers or low-cost mass housing. They’ll pull every string they can to get their pals to issue them building permits.
LA is just one of many, many places where the Surveillance State IS being built, piece by piece. You can find that in New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, and other key centers. It’s happening. You bet.
But that’s a whole different proposition from taking a vast city, where some of the major centers have been burned to the ground, and erecting a 21st century Police State with a four-year snap of the fingers.
The smart-city theory is TRUE. It’s ultimately true for the whole planet. The elite goal has been on the drawing board for a long time. Smart-Earth is the replacement for the widespread chaos the elite smart-planners have ben provoking across the world. Order from Chaos. Step one, step two. Technocracy.
Socialism and Communism and Wokism are the intermediate stages of the op.
I’m writing this article to make the point that a smart-city in LA by 2028 isn’t a slam-dunk. Which means there is TIME. Time for the possibility of a mass rebellion in LA, on the part of MANY outraged residents who have just awakened to the fact that their government rulers, the officials they’ve been supporting for decades, are and have been screwing them royally.
The fires are living proof.
Newsom and Karen Bass, the Communist Mayor of LA, are living proof.
It turns out that, UNDER GREAT PRESSURE, these supposedly solid unimpeachable leaders, come apart at the seams.
Newsom is shitting bricks. In recent interviews, you can see his body language. It’s disconnected from his words. He’s clapping his hands, he’s pointing his fingers, meaninglessly. He’s like a cheap two-bit personal growth leader at a weekend seminar. Trying to give the impression of inspiration. But it comes off like…he’s a first-class criminal whose lawyer just told him the prosecution has all the documents proving he’s guilty. Which is exactly the case. Newsom IS a criminal. He IS exposed. He HAS BEEN ignoring his prime duty: protecting the people. He HAS BEEN too busy guarding criminal Sanctuary cities and extending the transgender agenda and cozying up to his rich liberal friends…
Some of whom have just had their homes burned to the foundations in Pacific Palisades.
They’re looking at Gavin in a new way today.
Thousands and even millions of people in LA and California are looking at Gavin and other politicians in a new way.
Because now it isn’t abstract. It isn’t Democratic of Republican.
It’s FIRE.
And who is responsible for the fires that keep on burning?
And why the hell should we believe them or listen to them or follow them?
Why not have a rebellion based on the whole truth and common sense?
Why not rip skeletons out of the closets?
That’s the ANTI-smart-city plan, and it’s in progress right now…very visibly, on the ground, in LA.

Eric, You probably already know this, but in case you don't . . .
In the Pacific Palisades January 7th chart at 12:03pm, Mars is out of bounds at 24.17-degrees North, in Cancer. In the LA chart of September 4, 1781, Mars is out of bounds at 27.02-degrees South in Capricorn.
The LA chart also has Uranus out of bounds at 23.40-degrees North in Cancer, and Pluto out of bounds at 24.36-degrees South in Aquarius.
Out of Bounds: LA Mars in Capricorn and transiting Mars conjunct LA Uranus in Cancer are opposite, on the axis of the Full Moon.
Also, the LA out of bounds Pluto, in Aquarius, which is conjunct the US Moon, is quincuncx the Cancer conjunction of out of bounds transiting Mars and out of bounds LA Uranus. And the LA out of bounds Mars is conjunct the US Pluto.
Happy to say more, but I would like to have somebody's ears on the other end.
Thanks Hillary -- would you please provide a brief technical example of "out of bounds" and also some past examples of this in mundane charts that we might recognize the qualities of? Thank you.
Gladly, Eric.
An out of bounds planets has a declination either North or South of the Sun's declination, which is 23.23-degrees. This means the planet is out of the light and jurisdiction of the Sun, so it can go wild.
Out of bounds planets bring on extreme behaviors according to the particular archetypes. To the extent of that behavior is either emphasized bigger or smaller depending on the sign and house of out of bounds planet and its dispostor (ruler).
The very best example is Mercury. Trump, Elon Musk and Tucker Carlson, all have Mercury out of bounds. Both Trump and Elon have Mercury in Cancer. Tucker has Mercury in Gemini, the sign it disposits. . . . Regarding Trump, I am always explaining to people why Trump is all over the universe with his words and speeches, It is because of his out of bounds Mercury in Cancer ruling his Sun, Uranus and North Node in Gemini in his 10th house. Tucker too, it is evident that he has a beyond normal access to a realm of communicating with people which is extraordinary. And Elon's Mercury 14-degrees, near his Cancer Sun/MC conjunction, is in mutual reception with his Moon--his 2 final dispositors of his chart. Elon wears a concerned heart in his words and deeds.
The US July 4, 1776 5pm chart has Venus, Mars, and Pluto out of bounds. Israel has 5 planets out of bounds (!!!): Moon, Mercury, Venus, Uranus and Pluto!
Every chart I look at, I check for out of bounds planets. They always answer a great many big questions.
So what is interesting is how influential these charts become, or rather, what they represent. Trump may be all over the universe, but in the digital age, people how relate to his incoherence. And I imagine that this oob quality gives him a sense of common cause with Musk. As for Carlson, maybe this is why he makes 70% sense one in three times and can then have been found to have said the exact opposite thing five years ago.
Yes, I think you are right about people relating to his incoherence. Mercury oob is easy to detect, especially in Trump, with his Gemini placements. But Fauci who also has his Mercury oob, as well, has a chart design which makes it much more difficult to detect--the man is slippery and sly as coconut cream! Yet. when we look closely where it is nicely hidden in the 12th house--assuming the birth time for him is correct--in a quincuncx with Uranus in the 5th house, and a square with Neptune in Virgo (same as US Neptune) which it rules in the 8th house--we can clearly see that the whole covid circus, was a hoax contrived under his mad Mercury mind!
Trump just seemed like Trump. Fauci always seemed oob perhaps because I expected logic from him.
Hi Eric and readers
Please find below the link to an Audio book I am currently listening too. It is the number 1 seller in Germany at the moment. The author is Michael Nehls. Eric, I think he would be a fantastic guest for you to interview. I haven't got through the audio book yet 12hrs long, it has answered many of still outstanding guestions about the past 5 years and how the indoctrination has been applied to all of humanity. https://michael-nehls.com/
Listen to The Indoctrinated Brain by Michael Nehls on Audible. https://www.audible.co.uk/pd/B0CMY3JQPR?source_code=ASSOR150021921000R

Thank you for your fantastic work Eric
The Sting soundtrack brought back memories & its important place in my life. It might be interesting sometime for you to do an in-depth dive as to whether music makes good on its promises - turning our feelings over like a prism in the hand, dazzling us with its many fragments of light and longing.
I just remembered: I saw "lighting"on Monday afternoon (Burbank). No thunder. No storm/rain. Just as if the sky were flashing. Only twice that I noticed, lasting a few seconds each time.
was it sparkling, or flashing?
From my view of the skyline across Glendale, Pasadena, around to Hollywood, the effect was one of the entire sky lighting up; like a lightening strike without any lightening. (Since it was daytime, "lighting up" here was more like the sky getting whiter, noticably lighter) Being from the midwest/east, this sky effect caused me to pause, waiting for thunder to follow. Of course, there was none. I do not recall what clouds may have been in the sky at the time.
As an aside, Santa Ana's are never terribly strong in Burbank. I've also lived near Hidden Hills and in Calabasas where they are typically quite strong (as in: don't leave your kids' toys outside), but still not as strong as what I experienced in Burbank a week ago.
I also noticed how strangly still things were--and have been--before and after the "Santa Ana's."
And generally Santa Ana's last for more than a couple of days; they're more like a short "season." It's just been oddly still since the 2-3 days of intense gusts.
*"being from the midwest" --I've lived in SoCel for 30 years.
“super capitalism and Communism…”
I was speculating with baited breath how long it would take for erstwhile Substack writers to blame the LA situation — at least partially — on “Communism”. Not long at all!
Dude, step back, detox... too much force fed media.
I'm sure you didn't listen to this program but that's OK. It's just the calmest place on the internet.
Good music choices!
Re Segment 1, yes, Trump/Anti Trump are two sides of the same disinformation narrative.
Re Segment 2. I know John Hutchinson. He was a new boyfriend of Judy Wood when i was working with her and her team, was brought into the mix. She shared videos of him demonstrating the Hutchinson Effect. Hardly anyone found them convincing. This was the beginning of the end for my 18 months of collaboration with her, i decided she went over the edge. Further developments regarding her and the use of DEW at the WTC provided further confirmation to me that this was the case. Her idea there is countered by ample evidence, i think Roland Angle can fill you in on that.
The informant who told you about Hutchinson then suggested Dane Wignigton and geoengineering to explain how weather itself can be engineered. What Wigington claims is that HAARP devices shoot energy impulses into the Ionosphere, which is 30 to 180 miles up, heating pockets of air, and these pockets are used to alter the courses of jet streams. Left unexplained is how heating up air pockets in the Ionosphere affects jet steams, which are 5 to 10 miles up. No one i know who has pushed Wigington has been able to explain to me how this huge gap can even conceptually be closed, i don't think it even crossed their minds.
Regarding the chart and the fires. I don't see how the chart specifically supports a particular technology, rather than the general idea that fires were set. Very plausible. Though apparently Palisades Fire, the largest, started due to a reigniting of embers left over from a camping fire in December. Once started, it could of course be accelerated and expanded via setting fires. Eaton could have been deliberately set. But setting fires given the situation already preexisting was no problem.
I have no idea how people think we as a species can keep living on this planet the way we are, totally destroying the ecosystem, and not set off disasters. LA has been a disaster in the making for many decades. Phoenix and Vegas are even worse. Why is no one questioning that? Do we really think everything will work out fine as long as we find and eliminate corruption? Can we really maintain a global system which requires exponential growth upon a finite planet? HOW???
we would be doing a lot better without all the excess exploitation and intentional destruction. However, what is killing us is the profit motive — which does not mean making a living. It means dividends for shareholders above all else. And that translates to every decision must be made on the basis of profit and not in any way making the world better or treating employees better and many other things that could be done better. The obsession with profits by a few people is a symptom of the insanity that is doing this. There is no easing back. And now the machine is consuming what it has created. As Paloma Todd said to me years ago, the United States empire has run out of places to inflict its cruelty and will soon be inflicting it at home. That was 20 years ago.
I agree with a lot of this. Yes, the profit motive, And yes, the global crackdown is coming to the USA.
But it's not an "obsession." It is an IMPERATIVE. The essence of capitalism is capital accumulation, and any firm which doesn't press the pedal to the metal regarding the pursuit of profit will be left behind, shunned by any investment capital sources, out-competed by more profitable competitors more able to afford the latest, more connected vertically and horizontally.
The development of capital does not permit decent treatment of workers and non0-profit consideration. That's how we got here. This has nothing to do with "greed," actually, it's simply the dynamic which has governed capitalism sine its emergence into history, the late medieval era in rural England, The Enclosures.
Thus, whatever is left of the natural world will be destroyed if this global system persists.
And it is worth noting that the largest profits are to be had via financialization not production so capitalism has become a mostly parasitic entity.
Last time I looked finance constituted around 40 percent of profit taking: stocks, bonds, what Marx called “coupon clipping” by the wealthy which owns most stock.
Money changers.
That's a glaring sign of a capitalism that's crisis-ridden. A bigger and bigger financial sector is living on the back of the industrial core, because financialization is more profitable, and this worsens till the whole structure collapses.
Conversations of "sustainability" in Capitalist social/economic structure are contradictory. In this model, the Western/US model, there is no such thing as sustainable, only onward to infinity--which is unattainable. I'm reminded of the Soviet agent played by Kate Blanchett in Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull whose desire to know everything leads to her implosion. I'm sure there are many literary (and very very real) examples of the idea.
Oh we could do sustainable...if we went back to North America in around 1600 before some of the houses in my neighborhood were built. There is barely resiliency. Think about what is happening to the bees. Our lifestyle could be designed to be a lot easier on our bodies and the planet but that is never a thought. The NY Times today reported that there are 1.3 billion plastic particles in 1cc of tea, from the tea bag. I was worried about this the first time I saw a plastic soda bottle c. 1978.
Here is how American business operates — this is part of a brief from one of the longest civil trials in US history, circa 1983. It's about Lysol and Monsanto.
https://audio.pwfm.tech/documents/kemner-brief.pdf
Indeed and agreed. My thesis is that "sustainability" is not (generally) in what we do/actions because it is not part of the national identity. My historical marker is westward expansion (a good bit later than the 1600s model). Individuals/communities may think sustainably; the nation does not, making "sustainable" yet another brand, therefore (generally) "sustainably" does not obtain sustainable results.
I can design my business to be "sustainable" by pacing myself, knowing my limits, adjusting my expenses to my income, working to build business and taking care of my clients...but I exist in a very small ecosystem.
Well-stated, thank you!
I knew of John Hutchinson's work and the Hutchinson Effect long before Judy Woods and her work. Which I believe is a big part of what did happen to the towers.
I believe it was High Energy Weapons to the towers. And Controlled Demolition as well. And real planes or something that slammed into them, and real people doing new and strange behaviors in that event. It seems the people that do these things, use multiple approaches so we argue while they get outta town and prepare the next event. Yes it falls out of the familiar so it easy to say no way to unfamiliar technology. But I have seen enough in my personal life to know that regular physics is the matrix and there is more than regular physics around us. But that is crazy talk to many people but not everybody. Like the ability to use so called high energy as a weapon. I don't know for certain they were used in LA, after all I seen pics of arsonist in LA too and the footage of the three areas lit up at the same time. So it is easy to brush off one as photo shopped though it may be very likely. Just like demonstrations of some physics that appear to be inconsonant but when found out about are indeed predictable and repeatable we just didnt know about them until we knew about them, that they do these things when under these conditions too. But in addition to those types of favorable predictable truths there is more, much more. William Tillers work does a bang up job explaining in words and scientific experimentation what appears to be human thought itself has power over physical materials and, that, is such a stretch for others, but it isn't for me at all. He calls it a higher lever of symmetry that when Deltrons (his term I believe) come into the picture then human thought supersedes regular reality as you are experiencing it. He has a few experiments that are quite convincing and normally would be considered impossible, but when you add human intention, it happens. And one can find out on their own if one wishes to find out if you can do the same. I have. And others already do it too but they don't know it. Like miracles happening in their lives and results from specific prayers answered. To me, our real natures are not very known or celebrated. Shunned.
Judy Wood's analysis of the towers, asserting this was done with directed energy weapons, is BUNK!! There is no other such analysis, so i will stick to it.
She asserted little was left of the steel in the structures, it was mostly vaporized, In fact, there are ample photos of steel beams spread out over the WTC site after the event, which was all quickly shopped off to China. A Bunch of steel beams were cast horizontally., not what a DEW would do, got embedded in nearby buildings such as Bankers' Trust, there are photos of this. The cars near the East River a couple of miles from the WTC which bore scorch markings was put forth by her as evidence that the energy went all over the place. In fact, those cars were towed there from the WTC site after the event. And so on and on...
And the biggest VETO. What can be seen on video of WTC1, and its descent. The antenna on the roof began descending before the entire top section did so. This not only shows that the top could not be a pile driver, as per the official story, but that the destruction began on the inside of the structure, the inner core columns, and the truss hat which was on top of them which supported the antenna, This could not be done without the outside being damaged first, and it wasn't.
You are asserting what cannot be proven scientifically, and i as someone with a science background refuse to accept such assertions. That’s the same as people asserting that viruses exist, even some who say that they can be made via human thought.
I don't think Wood's theory accounts for anything not accounted for by controlled demolition...but I have not read the book, only heard it discussed here...
Oh I wouldn't worry about it. We learned tonight that Judy Woods assertations are Bunk. And probably John Hutchinson's work too.
And she is a gross insult to the scientific method. So I wouldn't waste my time on such silly things. Nope. Absolutely bunk and a just bogus person making up stuff. I've seen the light!
welcome to Planet Waves
hahaha. Thank you. Nice to be here.
I was talking to her 3-4 times a week while she was formulating her theory, phone calls lasting till 1AM. I tried pointing out huge problems in the theory, she dismissed all evidence i presented as fake, and attacked me for doubting her. She is a gross insult to the scientific method.
Exactly!
You believe viruses exist and can be made via human thought? Dude, that's amazing HUBRIS!! Obviously, you have zero understanding of science.
Yeah. Obviously.
we will never know the cause- but we will be witness to the fallout
Why is he smiling?
Because he's in a satanic trance. Lord help him.
He’s actually giddy about these fires. Yes in a satanic trance. Lord help him. Lord help LA! Satans just set your city on fire as he talks about his legal team on land speculating before the fires are even contained.
OK, sorry about my 'run on' last post, submitted again, w paragraph breaks as requested. I was intent on getting it done as I'm headed out of town and country for a few weeks, and did not do a final read/edit. I can assure you I'm not headed to anywhere within the continental US this weekend! ~ Jan
I've been following fires since I was a kid; my father was a sr. fire captain in the municipality of Richmond, BC, which encompasses two delta islands at the mouth of the Fraser River, Lulu Isl. & Sea Isl., where Vancouver's YVR airport is. A typically rainy in winter, wet part of the Pacific NW. Grass fires that would start in E. Richmond could be fought for days if not weeks due to the composition of the land being primarily peat moss which would just keep on re-igniting and burning over and over again. Living now in the SE'ern corner of the province for the past 50+ years which is a semi-arid (less than 25 cm precip./year) area of the Rocky Mountain Trench running from northern BC down to the south-western states of the US and incorporating the headwaters of the entire Columbia River water system, I have witnessed many severe forest fire seasons that have been becoming more and more prevalent year after year throughout the Pacific North West including CA, BC, Alberta, everywhere in between and northern regions too, and especially in the past twenty+ years since about 2003, where whole towns have burned down. Jasper, Alberta just last year, to name just one.
Wide swaths of Kootenay Nat'l Park through the Rockies between BC and Alberta have been decimated of their forests from major fires that burned most of the summer season due to fires that 'got away' from (National) Parks Canada and BC Forest Service fire mitigation measures that were started to create managed fireguards and/or burning of 'too much available fuel' to prevent huge seasonal forest fires from happening. Which did just the opposite. And then could not be contained. And created huge fires that have changed landscapes - that will not be seen again in my lifetime.
I have seen the same phenomenon of the ground being on fire smoldering along underground for months after a big fire has been 'successfully' put out on many occasions, to start up again,, have seen smoke filled valleys throughout the Columbia Valley and other E & W Kootenay regions of Canada for months on end during fire season, no different from those in Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington and California. But when an active fire is really going strong another phenomenon is that it produces it's OWN weather, independent of the severe wind weather pattern that may have initiated it, with extremely high winds blowing embers over wide areas faster than any fire suppression efforts can do anything to stop it.
The management of the rural interface zones of larger urban areas has really started to focus in the past years to education of home and land owners to 'fire-smart' their properties, de-limbing mature trees to 20 ft. up from the ground level, getting rid of now mature residential ornamental plantings that are now growing right up to a house, educating (often mostly absent) homeowners to 'for chrisesake!' NOT stack/store your wood-burning fireplace's supply of firewood right under your deck up against the side of your house!! In the community where I live the building scheme from 40 years ago specified that the roof must be constructed of cedar shakes,, a whole roof of kindling for an ember to land on and take out a house. And the one next door and all up the street too. All of these things seem pretty obvious, but it's taken and is taking a while yet to wake people up.
Because what is also evident is that after a few years of a very large fire taking out a whole town or small city the property owners who have taken huge losses have not been able to settle their insurance claims to get started again. Whether it's their principal residence or a vacation home in beautiful 'BC' for residents of Alberta (we joke about it being an acronym for 'bring cash').
As a licensed agent for buying/selling real estate, commerce just stops when a fire occurs nearby, as insurance underwriters will not issue a new insurance binder to anyone attempting to buy a property within a short distance from an active fire. Special clauses must be written into contracts of purchase and sale during months before and after 'active' fire season to help legally keep real estate transactions from being frustrated/killed by the inability of a buyer to get valid fire insurance in place by the property sale closing date. As professional best practices dictate that all contracts should contain a provision for a buyer to have a financing condition - whether they need to or not financially to buy, for their protection - the property of their choice, not being able to get insurance in place to do so just stops things - as, if one is working with a lender and financing approval, no insurance means no final financing approval in time for the sale completion date. Which means no money to you mr & mrs buyer.
The lender of course will want to have get their own appraisal of the subject property to make sure it will 'appraise up' to the value they are approving financing to a buyer for, so how do you do that when it's now together with the entire area, just a big charred hole in the ground? To try to extrapolate the scenario I describe in rural/recreational/second home BC communities to Los Angeles waterfront and ocean view kazillion dollar residential and commercial property losses, is just beyond my ability to comprehend how it might actually be do-able.
Insurance is going to kill everyone.
—PG&E, not PE&G. Actually, the Pacific Gas & Electric corporation didn't pay out for the deaths it caused. Newsom did a backroom deal with the corporation that allows it to raise rates insanely high and charge the customers for the legal fees.—

California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Friday rejected Pacific Gas and Electric's $13.5 billion settlement with wildfire victims, making a major setback in the utility’s attempt to emerge from bankruptcy by June 30 in order to gain access to a $20 billion state-sponsored insurance fund for future wildfires.

WOW! Your interviewee said--"But when I left, I turned on the radio in the car to drive to a friend's And on the radio, they said the Eton fire in Altadena was two acres. Two acres, not that much. You know, it's about the size of a house, you know, or a plot of land that would accommodate a house, right?"
2 acres is about the size of a house and its land? Maybe in a very well to do area, not in the SF Bay Area. 2 acres would be 10 to 30 houses? A guy I know who builds ADUs said this: “Average Berkeley lot is .11 acres or so, so house plus an ADU in SFR zone could be 18 units in 2 acres. Multifamily zones could be 100+ pretty easy. “
Your interviewee went on to say —"Well, they're going to have to expedite permitting and find a way to expedite construction. They're going to have to do that. Because I would say conservatively, just off the top of my head, you're looking at 100,000 to 200,000 people that are homeless now. And in the short term, Where do you rehouse 100,000 to 200,000 people?"—
How about tiny houses for all those people? Give them the 15 minute carceral cities CA is forcing other cities to build. Little to no landscaping. Little to no vision of sky, just walls and walls and more dreadful walls. Only 4 feet necessary between buildings which doesn't include the eaves of rooves. This way everything burns faster? Is that the plan?
Are people really that ignorant of what's happening in many of the cities in California?
I enjoyed your show.
I've been following fires since I was a kid; my father was a sr. fire captain in the municipality of Richmond, BC, which encompasses two delta islands at the mouth of the Fraser River, Lulu Isl. & Sea Isl., where Vancouver's YVR airport is. A typically rainy in winter, wet part of the Pacific NW. Grass fires that would start in E. Richmond could be fought for days if not weeks due to the composition of the land being primarily peat moss which would just keep on re-igniting and burning over and over again. Living now in the SE'ern corner of the province for the past 50+ years which is a semi-arid (less than 25 cm precip./year) area of the Rocky Mountain Trench running from northern BC down to the south-western states of the US and incorporating the headwaters of the entire Columbia River water system, I have witnessed many severe forest fire seasons that have been becoming more and more prevalent year after year throughout the Pacific North West including CA, BC, Alberta, everywhere in between and northern regions too, and especially in the past twenty+ years since about 2003, where whole towns have burned down. Jasper, Alberta just last year, to name just one. Wide swaths of Kootenay Nat'l Park through the Rockies between BC and Alberta have been decimated of their forests from major fires that burned most of the summer season due to fires that 'got away' from (National) Parks Canada and BC Forest Service fire mitigation measures that were started to create managed fireguards and/or burning of 'too much available fuel' to prevent huge seasonal forest fires from happening. Which did just the opposite. And then could not be contained. And created huge fires that have changed landscapes - that will not be seen again in my lifetime. I have seen the same phenomenon of the ground being on fire smoldering along underground for months after a big fire has been 'successfully' put out on many occasions, to start up again,, have seen smoke filled valleys throughout the Columbia Valley and other E & W Kootenay regions of Canada for months on end during fire season, no different from those in Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington and California. But when an active fire is really going strong another phenomenon is that it produces it's OWN weather, independent of the severe wind weather pattern that may have initiated it, with extremely high winds blowing embers over wide areas faster than any fire suppression efforts can do anything to stop it. The management of the rural interface zones of larger urban areas has really started to focus in the past years to education of home and land owners to 'fire-smart' their properties, de-limbing mature trees to 20 ft. up from the ground level, getting rid of now mature residential ornamental plantings that are now growing right up to a house, educating homeowners to 'for chrisesake!' NOT stack/store your wood-burning fireplace's supply of firewood right under your deck up against the side of your house!! In the community where I live the building scheme from 40 years ago specified that the roof must be constructed of cedar shakes,, a whole roof of kindling for an ember to land on and take out a house. And the one next door and all up the street too. All of these things seem pretty obvious, but it's taken and is taking a while yet to wake people up. Because what is also evident is that after a few years of a very large fire taking out a whole town or small city the property owners who have taken huge losses have not been able to settle their insurance claims to get started again. As a licensed agent for buying/selling real estate, commerce just stops when a fire occurs nearby, as insurance underwriters will not issue a new insurance binder to anyone attempting to buy a property within a short distance from an active fire. Special clauses must be written into contracts of purchase and sale during months before and after 'active' fire season to help legally keep real estate transactions from being frustrated/killed by the inability of a buyer to get valid fire insurance in place by the property sale closing date. As professional best practices dictate that all contracts should contain a provision for a buyer to have a financing condition - whether they need to or not financially to buy, for their protection - the property of their choice, not being able to get insurance in place to do so just stops things as, if one is working with a lender and financing approval, no insurance means no financing approval in time for the sale completion date. Which means no money to you mr & mrs buyer. The lender of course will want to have an appraisal of the subject property to make sure it will 'appraise up' to the value they are approving financing to a buyer for, so how do you do that when it's now together with the entire area, just a big charred hole in the ground? To try to extrapolate the scenario I describe in rural/recreational/second home BC communities to Los Angeles waterfront and ocean view kazillion dollar residential and commercial property losses, is just beyond my ability to comprehend how it might actually be do-able. Insurance is going to kill everyone.
would you please add paragraph breaks to this?
I also request clear paragraph breaks, maybe even with indents at start. I'm interested in your info but stymied by its presentation.
If it is true that the Social Society Engineers use Electrical Engineering as their primary model for control then I just had a thought, to purposely go more into in their world but become one of the electrical instruments to perhaps "ground out," their charges or perhaps amplify their charges but pipe it back to them or something.
Im no engineer but when I studied and passed the three levels of Ham Radio testing in one day, I learned that they use a lot of Electrical Engineering, the designs, the science of and the components used for the piping and harnessing ect of electricity. It can all be graphed to be understood. Fascinating field. And if I can learn it I am sure anyone can. I just studied it hard to pass and learned about the electrical principles.
